It's mostly due to us idiots in Texas.
We caused an artificial gas shorted. There were a lot of social media rumors that everyone was running out of gas, the Railroad Commission (which is a misnomer and responsible for energy in Texas) responded by not addressing concerns. A run on gas started, which caused an artificial shortage, which caused all the gas stations to start to run out of gas, which made people panic more.
Shortly after that started happening, to control demand, all gas prices went up quite a bit here last week. We screwed up the national supply and gas had to be diverted to Texas to cover the areas without gas, increasing price across the nation.
San Antonio is still almost completely out of gas. I finally had to fill up my tank this morning, went to two gas stations here in Austin (which isn't bad) before I found some, and they were out of anything but unleaded.
It seems like supply is starting to catch up some now, but it's pretty much screwed up gas prices across the country.

Kirby, they have traded alot of players for future picks. The reasonable thing to do is wait to see how the draft picks pan out and a couple off seasons of building the team around that nucleus. Make no bones about it, the engine that they envision that will power this organization will be through the draft. And after those picks are made then you'll see more activity in FA. They are going to have lots of cap room in the coming years
Yes, they have lots of draft equity, but the hit rate on most of those picks is low. They traded away good talent for picks that, at most, have a 50% success rate on average across the board.
If they were trading around people that wouldn't fit on the team in 2-3 years (like Shady), that's one thing. I don't see how trading away a guy like Sammy for a pick that even has a 50/50 shot of making the NFL is a good move, regardless of how it ends up working out.

The new Bills brass is continuing to pee on our legs and tell us it's raining.
-
Reasonable people realized that the offense wasn't as good as numbers might indicate.
I believe the offense was as good as the numbers indicate as long as they ran the same scheme.
If they're trying to run anything else, I agree
-
I might be misunderstanding but are you saying Seymour is bad based on that? Cause it means he went more snaps between allowing receptions than any other rookie
No, I was saying everyone saying that he sucked and is the same as the WR we traded for was ridiculous.

Why do these new guys think we have to get worse to get better?
This team lacks so much more talent now than it did a year ago.
^^^^^ every move we make makes us worse.
-
well it seems Seymour was not going to be one either. See what i did there?
living the postive
I appreciate that but I don't think it's reality.
-
ummm Seymour is a "talent"?
Here's a decent 3rd/4th CB. Clay is awful.
Quiet he's on a roll
Lol I love trading for guys who won't make a team.
-
LOL I love when a regime trades away talent for ****.
Worst team in the NFL.

ESPN put out a piece on each team's weaknesses based on other NFL Executive's opinions.
For the Bills:
The worry: Buffalo lacks sufficient playmaking ability in the passing game after trading Sammy Watkins and losing Anquan Boldin to retirement.
Exec unfiltered: "They traded away their most explosive receiver [Watkins], and even though he was often hurt, when you get rid of that guy, who is your guy? You don't have Robert Woods, you don't have Watkins. Jordan Matthewsis not an explosive guy. He is just a smart, tough possession receiver. Where do they get chunk yardage from in the passing game?"
+100,000.

Tyrod has a unique skillset and it causes people to go to extremes on their opinions of him.
I think it's pretty clear that Tyrod is a QB with a very different skillset than the traditional NFL QB. I believe he can be successful if you put him in the right scheme with the right talent, which is exactly what the Bills did last year to get to an offense that actually produced decent points. The problem is for his skillset to work in the NFL it has to be a run-first offense with limited passing reads, which is why it tends to fail during two-minute type situations.
Tyrod can throw a pretty ball, but he can really only read half the field with a couple progressions. He's just not going to be the type of guy who can go through quick progressions across 4-5 receivers so it greatly limits the type of offense you can run to be successful.

No......he didn't like their attitudes regarding his program.
Chip is cheap is inaccurate.......ask DeMarco Murray.
If the Bills went out and acquired a WR in free agency coming off something like the year that Murray had when Chip paid him.......1800 yards and 15 TD's, higher ypc than Sammy........I am guessing I'd feel better about the Sammy trade.
His disregard for WR talent was the killer for Chip, you can't just acquire 3,000 yards worth of rushers and think you can just run the ball all day...........it had taken the Eagles quite a while and significant draft assets to GET Jackson and Maclin.....and gamebreakinig WR talent is tough to replace.
Runnin' bax? Not so much.
Yep. It was interesting too because he struggled getting good WR fits for his offense, but he DID spend resources to try to get players. Jordan Matthews turned out to just be a slot WR, Josh Huff didn't work out in the NFL, Agholor got off to a rough start (but might be finally getting it together).
-
I mean, he still took the kids but didn't lose the ball, so I guess it's good.
Holy crap he stole some kids too?
-
Airplane got screwed. Should be #1.

-
The bills aren't tanking.
Lol look at the roster
-
Might as well have tanked with him instead
-
Where the IDGAF we gonna suck either way option?
-
I hope I see a team ready for the regular season.
I expect to be a team ready to go 2-14
-
Good talent that's not on the field isn't good talent.
I agree. Atlanta should have never been patient with a guy like Julio Jones. Look what good that did them.
Or do you mean Dareus who missed two games in his first five years?
-
I can't wait until we get rid of all our good talent.
-
It rained some here in Austin last night, and is windy, but we haven't hit anywhere close to flooding yet. Looks like it's going to start for us here shortly.

Keeping Shady on the team makes no sense. It's much, much more likely he falls off a cliff at 30 than it is he remains great. IMO, it makes total sense to trade Shady (and Tyrod) and throw the season away.
Keep your young, good talent like Dareus.
Here's the problem: it doesn't feel like there has been any semblance of a tank plan. Why did they bring back Lorax and sign Boldin if they didn't want to win now? Why are they trading away young talent that will be good when the Bills are ready to be good?
It just makes zero sense at this point what they're doing, unless they've suddenly had an epiphany that they aren't good. If that's the case, this season has already been horribly mismanaged.
